“Address The Grumbling In The North” – Ali Ndume To FG

Ali Ndume

Senator Ali Ndume has said that something must be done about the growing dissatisfaction in the North. He recently had his say during an interview on Arise TV, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, if nothing is done about the grumbling in the North as soon as possible, there would be serious electoral consequences.

He concluded by blasting President Bola Tinubu’s inner circle, stressing that BAT is being poorly served by advisers who lack political understanding and grassroots connections.

His words, “Anybody that tells you that the North is not grumbling now is not telling the truth.

It will be loud in their votes if nothing is done about it. The good thing about it is that the President can turn things around.

In the North, northern elders have been reaching out. I was part of the first and the last meetings with Mr. President when northern elders went to him.

He was prepared. He brought all the critical appointees from the North, and we had a wonderful session.

He promised that it would continue, but it never happened.

You know what I’m suspecting? The President is not the problem; it is the people around the President that are the problem.

The President had good people around him when he was governor of Lagos; that was why he succeeded.

Most of the good people are not there now. They have been sidelined.

He just picked people that don’t know anybody. They only know Ikoyi and Victoria Island. And from there, they fly to London or America where their families are living. They are not even full Nigerians.

Instead of bringing in his team that would look at him in the face and tell him the truth, he decided to surround himself with people that don’t know politics.”

WOW.
